Unseen

Drama #144

UNSEEN is the new urban fantasy audio fiction podcast by Long Story Short Productions. The premise behind it is simple: in a world where magic is real but invisible to almost everyone, for the few magical beings that exist every day is a struggle just to be seen. Season one of UNSEEN will feature ten different stories of identity, connection, and personhood (and, of course, magic) in the modern world. Some of them will be thrilling adventures. Others may be sad and melancholic. Some may be creepy and unsettling. Each of them will feature a single performer, guiding the audience through a new, original modern fantasy landscape.

    One of my favorites
    I have three episodes left to listen to, and I am already sad thinking about it. This was such a joy to listen to- the sound production, the voice actors, the music, the well-written stories, everything is so well done. I felt immersed in the world they created. Just overall a top notch podcast.

    Wonderful, immersive storytelling
    Each episode is captivating and offers a unique perspective on this magical world. I just finished listening to the 2020 New Year’s special and was overjoyed to hear Beth and Felix together again. Fans of this show should definitely check out Wooden Overcoats!

    An interesting look into an Unseen world
    I backed the kickstarter for Unseen when it was going, but it took me more than a year to actually get around to listening to any of it, which was honestly a shame. While there are connections between the stories, and they all take place in the same world, they each expand a different part of it, a little bit at a time.

    Anthology for the Ages
    Absolutely curious in the best way, each episode will make you think about the meaning of everything in ways you never expected.
  • A. R. OLIVIERI
    My favorite yet
    Long Story Short Productions are just flat-out legends. You think you've heard every kind of world with magic, but you haven't, & this is the one you need !! The actors, guest writers, & other cast/crew also contribute so much to this series, it may be my favorite thing they've ever done. A must listen today !!!
  • HOO R U
    Amazing! Please bring us more
    This is hands downy favorite podcast ever, and I listen to a lot of them. So well written and well acted, so engaging. If you like fantasy set among reality you’ll love this. Adult themed but not vulgar or violent. Seriously, listen to one or two episodes, give a chance, you will love it.
  • kenjamin franklin
    Top shelf!
    You’re not going to find better writing or voice acting anywhere! These are the best in the business, from some of my other favorite podcasts, coming together to bring us personal stories from a magical world. A+
  • Not a card shark
    Just great
    Well written, well acted. Surprising, Must listen

    I love this series!
  • Anne Onimous II
    Great modern fantasy audio drama!
    Great modern fantasy audio drama! It's fun and moving all at once
  • ~slpblue~
    99.9999% perfect
    Literally the only thing that could POSSIBLY be improved about this podcast is that the footsteps sound effects are WAY too fast to be actual footsteps, and I can’t not notice it (in so much detail) every time someone walks somewhere. Rip to my brain, but yay to another great pod.
  • Patternbreaker
    Beautifully crafted!
    I love this series! I discovered this because I was and remain an avid Wolf 359 fan (which I listened to in entirety more times than I can remember at this point), so I was instantly drawn towards their new creative content and I am impressed. The world is vivid and each story fills out the world with rich perspectives that vary from wonder and reflection to tales that send shivers down your spine. I truly appreciate fantasy stories and this collection captures so many facets of a world dripping with magic if only you are “looking closely”. The characters each individual narrative builds are compelling and have such depth. This podcast really knows how to tell a good story. This has been a treasured escape from the pandemic and parenting and I highly recommend you listen to it all! I loved every moment!
  • Accesette
    Great anthology series
    I love all the stories in this series. They’re all different & imaginative.
  • Galexie Reed
    cool
    This show is so cool! My favorite episode is episode 2. I think of it every time I see a Waffle House haha.
  • Sunrisewolf
    Birbs and smoke
    By episode four I am totally enthralled by this world. I’m inspired by these writers and actors, their ability to capture a story and tell it through relatable human experiences, or simply from a bird we imagine can talk to us. Full of riddles and rhymes, heartaches and joys, the Unseen world will make you wish you can see through the call.
  • fbeemcee
    So delightful!
    I’ve enjoyed every story, and all the characters are soooo wonderful. If you need a little magic in your life, definitely check this out.
  • MookieBlalock

  • dancing in violets
    Keep up the good work
    I am only a few episodes in, but the acting is wonderful. I plan on recommending this podcast to a few friends with interests in this genre.
  • Ri🌙
    Conceptually unique, beautifully crafted
    Such a refreshing take on anthology podcasts, each episode is super immersive and a joy to listen to. Give it a listen!
  • Davegins
    Are You Listening Closely?
    Amazing show! The cast and crew are simply magical. Quite a few Wooden Overcoats alumni.
  • the shadow's footprints
    Great magic system, great storytelling
    I like how the magic system works, and the characters they have chosen to spotlight. Will it be better than wolf-359? Only time will tell!
  • mbourgon
    Fantastic urban fantasy stories
    The following to Wolf 359 (amazing long form sci-fi podcast) does not disappoint. Great stories, great sound design, great acting
  • Walaf Shan
    Familiar ground, but well told
    Like the other reviewers, I came here from Wolf 359, and the first story is intriguing. The central concept of a hidden magical community is familiar ground now, but it’s good to hear from the “girl in the shop,” the person most like ourselves. We may not all make wonders, but we all make wonders possible.
  • sydneyll
    Great show
    I love the first season and I’m sure it’s only gonna keep being great can’t wait for even more!
  • korra morra
    Episode 10 was fabulous!!
    I’ve loved seeing all the different tales on the monologue form. Looking forward to the social episodes and hopefully more from the unseen world!
  • GraceOM
    Outstanding
    I'm having a hard time not binging. What will I do if I listen to all the episodes now??? I have to force myself to stop! Looking forward to season 2
  • Jen12345678887654321
    Literally incredible
    This show is beautiful and funny and draws you in. I want to hug all of the characters and receive a hug from every character. The twists are something else and the concept for every episode is literally indescribable. 100/10
  • LG0990
    Only on the first episode!
    Let me say that this podcast is amazing! Sound design and audio quality is flawless, with wonderful voice acting by our favorite people! Filled with magic and heartfelt stories, you will be drawn in by the attention to detail!
  • Michayla18
    What a sneaky podcast
    It’s sneaky, because at first, you’re like “yeah, I like this.“ But slowly you realize that you love it, and it is perfect for how you were feeling in this crazy 2020 year. It sneaks up on you and hits you right in the feels sometimes. It sounds like this is just a limited miniseries, butI would love to hear more from this world. I’m pretty sure everything that this production team has made has been stellar, so I’m gonna go find their kickstarter or Patreon or whatever
  • samhainophobic
    Amazing.
    Absolutely freaking stellar. I couldn't shut up Wolf 359, I expect I won't be able to shut up about Unseen, either. Amazing sound design, spectacular voice acting, writing that keeps me gripped. I love this freaking podcast, I love hearing the struggles these characters face, I love hearing myself represented. A++. Recommending to everybody.
  • Gansturr's
    Fantastic characters and stories
    Each story is enthralling in its own way, sometimes feeling like an entire universe and other times like a single, contained moment of a life. Each storyteller is deeply human in their own way; the hopes, dreams, drives, and pains of life are all tied up in these tales. I've been struggling to find the words to describe the emotions this dream team is once again evoking with their work, but I'll try summing it up with this: Fantastical stories might seem, at a glance, far removed from the mundane world we live in, but can often tell deep and singular truths, and this series is no exception.
  • Reid Coates
    Recommended!
    Excellent concept coupled with excellent execution. Episode two is quite amazing if I do say so myself!
  • sccoots
    Fun, escapist, and substantive at the same time
    Excellent storytelling, six episodes in and I look forward to each one. Still waiting to see if it can live up to Urbina's Wolf 359, but as that was one of my favorite podcasts ever, that's not too much of a criticism.
  • Notorious-RBG
    Beautifully done
    Fantastic writing coupled with fantastic production. This isn’t a podcast; it’s art.
  • aliciawrites
    Great show!!
    As always, Long Story Short Productions never fails to tell gratifying stories that make you feel a range of feelings! They truly are the best!
  • emily maike
    Fantastic stories
    This fiction podcast is exactly what I needed right now! Hearing about the magical existing among the mundane makes everything a bit lighter right now. The writing is captivating and the acting is stellar. An excellent listen, with new episodes being my favorite part of the week.
  • Bardbarian Extreme
    My new favorite listen
    I just listened to the first episode and I have to say, they’ve done it again. I swear, every time this team comes out with something I am hooked on it and have to listen to all of it right this very moment, as if it was going to disappear if I don’t, I love this all so much and it gives me hope.
  • tsocol
    Well worth the listen
    An interesting take on magical tropes expertly produced and beautifully written, with fine voice acting. Worth the listen.
  • Kappa776
    Amazing stories!
    I'm on episode 5 and I love the variety of stories and the different ways magic is presented!
  • carbonarc
    We need this
    Come for the magic, stay for the hope in being human. Really - it’s that good.
  • Steve2552552550
    Short form audio fiction at its best
    These folks at Long Story Short nail it. Creative writing that really captures the idea of tales just out of sight, skillful actors that bring the Unseen to lige, and sound design that elevates the story without dominating the scene! Give it Unseen a listen.
  • bradmossing
    Great concept
    Great world building but I’d like to see a storyline start to form.
  • ppglovezls
    Enchanting
    I ADORE this show, each episode is absolutely wonderful. The second episode is my favorite so far but each one is fantastic, and I really feel like the first episode spoke to my personal experience in the modern era PLEASE give this show a shot especially if you need something dramatic but hopeful and if you’re in to other podcasts like The Magnus Archives or The Bright Sessions Magic is Waffle House
  • albuslover8101
    I love it already!
    I’ve really enjoyed the other podcast productions Long Story Short Productions has put on, and this is no exception! If you want a little bit of magic sprinkled into your life, with a healthy dose of mystery and suspense, then this is the podcast for you!
  • JasmineBaggins
    Thank you!
    I’m loving this podcast. More than one episode has made me cry. Magic is art and your art is magic.
